Based on the symptoms described, Jamil may be experiencing symptoms of psychosis, such as auditory hallucinations. Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication that can be used to treat symptoms of psychosis. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and Thioridazine is an antipsychotic that is not commonly prescribed due to potential side effects. Sertraline is an antidepressant and would not be the first choice for treating psychosis.
